Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Ebbie Date: 05 Apr 12 - 02:55 AM This is what Stilly responded to: "What do you do about all the (alleged) catters who adopt false IDs, defame members and put up totally false posts - surely they are the really obnoxious members." I think attacking her is out of line. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Don(Wyziwyg)T Date: 05 Apr 12 - 05:52 AM Nice thought BWM, but you can't teach the really obnoxious ones anything. They have neither the desire nor the equipment for learning. SRS, you are one hundred percent correct. The most obnoxious share the christian name GUEST and numerous different surnames. Don T. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: John P Date: 05 Apr 12 - 09:08 AM Let's get real here. Two extremely obnoxious guests are taking part in this conversation and pretending that they don't like obnoxious posts. Bluesman and Guest from Sanity have both spent so much time posting bigotry, bile, and personal attacks, directed at both Mudcat members and people in general, that I would find anything they have to say on this subject hilarious if it weren't so tragically hypocritical. If you guys act like bigoted assholes, you better be ready to take the heat for it. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: John P Date: 05 Apr 12 - 10:29 AM Ah, so you've decided that I'm feeling some sort of heat and have decided to share this "insight" with the world, in terms that imply some sort of cowardice on my part. The difference, you see, is that I respond to what people actually say. You and GfS, on the other hand usually simply lash out with unfounded assumptions about the validity and intelligence of others, and do so in demeaning and disrespectful terms. This is one of the prime examples of obnoxious internet forum behavior. Another smaller difference is that I sign my name and am a member of Mudcat. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Apr 12 - 10:40 AM My answer had only to do with framus's question: What do you do about all the (alleged) catters who adopt false IDs, defame members and put up totally false posts - surely they are the really obnoxious members. Joking TOTALLY apart. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Jim Carroll Date: 05 Apr 12 - 11:56 AM "Two extremely obnoxious guests...." I was wondering if somebody was going to get round to mentioning this - well done John P - you've restored my faith in humanity. Gave me a bit of a buzz to be told "Do what I do, ignore obnoxious posters, sadly there is no shortage of them here" - by somebody who, at the same time, was jackbooting his way through the 'Discrimination against Roma' thread - (now closed, thanks to his behaviour there) Anybody who doubts this, I suggest they take a peep before it disappears altogether (only for strong stomachs though) "Your world is closing in on you!" Had similar experiences with GfS in the past. There - broken my silence - will the mystery guest please step forward and reveal him/herself and claim their prize. Jim Carroll |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: MGM·Lion Date: 05 Apr 12 - 12:29 PM Still ~ the apparent deletion between 0908 & 1029 has left those of us who have been following but didn't log on in time in something of a limbo. Could we at least perhaps have some sort of expletive-deleted simulacrum restored in the interests of clarity? ~M~ |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: MGM·Lion Date: 05 Apr 12 - 01:24 PM I am reminded of the Duchess's song in Alice In Wonderland ~~ Speak roughly to your little boy And beat him when he teases He only does it to annoy Because he knows it teases Perhaps we can employ Megan L for the purpose rubricated in line 2: she would appear to be MC's resident skelper. ~M~ |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 05 Apr 12 - 01:40 PM So demonize everyone who doesn't go along with your 'politics'...welcome to Germany 1937!!! Joe, I'm really disappointed in this practice! Dylan would have been censored, too! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 05 Apr 12 - 01:41 PM When the ideologues were running rampant, and I called for patience... ...but radical wannabes don't want the truth! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 05 Apr 12 - 01:48 PM ..gnu, a whole lot that are being deleted, because the politicos can't stand the truth....click the link, before it's gone too! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: gnu Date: 05 Apr 12 - 02:39 PM Sooo... I assume you mean Joe Offer... maybe? Joe doesn't delete posts. Joe doesn't set policy. And, posts are deleted by mods for a reason. If you wanna discuss deletions, take it up with Max, although, I think you shouldn't waste his time. This is the most "freedom of speech" site on the net. Methinks you doth protest too much... well, probably. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: GUEST,Guesr from Sanity Date: 05 Apr 12 - 03:23 PM beardedbruce, You'd think that fair and open exchange of ideas, would be welcome, especially on a site, that would encourage creativity in the arts! When it comes to deleting posts, that clearly are truthful, and links that expose mis- & dis- information, one would expect appreciation, that the record gets set straight. In these cases, the disinformation which caters to propping up divisions and hostilities within our culture, nation and influences, seem to be not only welcomed but encouraged. This is flat out wrong, and stupid!! If one's 'politics' needs this kind of absolute nonsense and lies, then I'd say re-assess your politics! That being said, I've been painted as a 'right wing-nut'..and nothing could be further from the truth...What I'd rather promote, is a healthy exchange of ideas, whether either side wants to agree or not! I think the deleted posts should be put back up, and let the posters decide...not the propaganda machinery and their mechanics! Regards, GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Don Firth Date: 05 Apr 12 - 03:57 PM Disappearing posts have less to do with censoring people's political opinions than it does with sheer bloody RUDENESS on the part of certain posters who are habitually and intentionally obnoxious. It's interesting to note that there are those, many unfortunately right here on Mudcat, who, as long as they are sitting safely in isolation behind their computer keyboards and their anonymity, who feel free to say things that, were they to say them face-to-face to someone in the 3-D world, might result in that person grabbing them by the shirt-front, shoving them against a wall, and slapping the living snot out of them! Cowards as well as barbarians. Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: gnu Date: 05 Apr 12 - 04:12 PM That is a perasonal attack. And, I figure it's bullshit. Just like a lot of other posts... you know who you are. Ya wanna get some sympathy, ask Max. But, as I said, don't waste your time. Yes, that's what I was saying earlier. The mods do their jobs to the best of their ability. If your posts are deleted, it's because you fucked up. Don't whine about it in posts unless you truly have an arguement. If so, PM Max. If you don't PM Max, you fucked up. Case closed. And, there have been people banned from this site before so "be careful" who YOU attack. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: gnu Date: 05 Apr 12 - 04:38 PM Bullshit. Put yer money where yer mouth is. Ask Max. And stop trolling. It's really tiresome for me and a LOT of other Mudcatters. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Don Firth Date: 05 Apr 12 - 04:43 PM Just keep it up, GfS, and you may just have personal experience with getting blocked. And it won't be because of your political opinions, it wiil be a direct result of your, shall we say, "social skills?" Don Firth |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Apr 12 - 04:46 PM Okay. So some of you want serious posts here, do you? Fine. Peace (and quiet) are found within oneself...not by attempting to control, dominate, and intimidate other people. Your real business in life is to control yourself, not to control others. If one insists on seeking out conflict with other people, one will definitely find it. That's a guarantee. One will be at continual war with others. If one becomes too emotionally attached to one's own sense of aggrieved righteousness to let go of past disagreements with other people, then one will remain a prisoner of one's own negative emotions, and will probably cause some disturbance to others as well...if they bother to react to it. (But if they're wise, they will not react to it.) And if they don't, all you combative types will hear is the sound of your own angry voice bouncing back at you off the wall of anger you have built around yourself. That's self-imprisonment. Let him who has ears to hear listen and understand. He that is deaf will just keep yelling. Free yourself. No one else is going to do it for you. If you want peace.......make it. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: Don Firth Date: 05 Apr 12 - 05:05 PM Little Hawk, there are SERIOUS people in this world who are interested in the issues that effect them and the rest of society. It is a learning experience to discuss and debate these issues with others. But ever since the time of Plato, there have been those who did not know enough about issues to seriously discuss them, but jumped in with a loug mouth and a foul vocabulary and tried to intimiate others with shouting and insults. Back in those days, those who would not participate in the dialogs in a rational and polite manner were frog-walked to the door and kicked out into the streets where they belonged. So when someone comes into this forum and acts in an uncivilized manner, banning them by blocking their IP address is merely an modern technological way of booting them out the door so the adults can continue to discuss things rationally.

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: John P Date: 05 Apr 12 - 05:13 PM Little Hawk, you're doing it too. We're not angry, even though you have apparently decided that you know our inner emotional states and have decided to share. Care to try again? Here's a hint: tired of boorish behavior. Tired of ad hominem attacks, which is what you often do, no matter how philosophically you word it. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: John P Date: 05 Apr 12 - 05:17 PM I'm sorry, Little Hawk. Please don't try again. Just don't go there at all. None of your business and you're almost always incorrect. |

None of your business and you're almost always incorrect." Now you attacking Little Hawk????????? I rest my case! GfS |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: John P Date: 05 Apr 12 - 05:53 PM So demonize everyone who doesn't go along with your 'politics'...welcome to Germany 1937!!! Wow, I don't even have to prove my point with GfS. He's doing it for me! By the way, almost every post I've seen get deleted on Mudcat has been because they were personal attacks. Trying to make it sound like political censorship is just one more example of people not taking responsibility for what they say. Once again, GfS, I don't demonize you because of your politics. I demonize you because of your overt bigotry and your senseless attacks on other people. I'd love to have a reasoned politic discussion on Mudcat that didn't include attacks. I've seen you trying really hard to do that, but your abrasive nature almost always gets the better of you. It's really simple: talk about what's being talked about, not each other. |

Subject: RE: BS: What to do about obnoxious MC members? From: gnu Date: 05 Apr 12 - 06:04 PM LH... when someone punches me or my friend(s) in the nose, that in NO WAY means I or they are seeking the punch and I take serious offense to you saying that I or my friends do so. Anyone who "punches" for no good reason, especially trolls and bullies, gets punched back. THAT is a SERIOUS post. Trolls and bullies shall not be tolerated and no amount of psycho-babble will change that. Glad it works for you. Me, I don't take shit from assholes. |
